Boy Charged in Murder of Teen in Victoria
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
A sixteen-year-old boy, accused in the brutal murder of fifteen-year-old Dau Akueng, appeared in court for a bail application. The boy is one of five males charged in Daus death, which occurred in Cobblebank on September sixth. A third child survived the alleged attack, which also resulted in the death of another victim, Chol Achiek. The court heard that Dau and Chol were targeted due to their ethnicity and age, as they were completely unknown to local youth gangs. The alleged murder was linked to a previous incident involving the fatal stabbing of eighteen-year-old Kon Hsu Sein, with one of the teenage boys co-accused reportedly present during Seins death. The boys grandmother offered her life savings as surety for his release, but the prosecution argued against bail due to the horrific nature of the crime and fears for the victims familys safety. The judge is expected to rule on the bail application later today.
